The above title ‘Are you looking for a Man Date?’ is taken from an article in my Trust’s internal news feed that appears on the Intranet – the article started:

“OK, so we got your attention under false pretences. It’s a Mandate not a Man Date.”

It was about the Department of Health’s first Mandate to the NHS Commissioning Board and it was an interesting article – but even I have to admit I only followed the link because of the catchy title!

My post last week about how reading is good for your health gave me a record high of over 200 views and it got me thinking… ‘Reading is good for your health’ was obviously a catchy title too – especially in feeds such as the CILIP Members Blog Landscape or the CPD23 feed where there are multiple contributing blogs. As a subscriber to these feeds, I find there is a lot of new articles some days and I have to scan down for articles that look interesting – a catchy title helps gain my attention.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m planning to put a bit more thought into my post titles from now on!

I am a Health Librarian, MSc Graduate, active CILIP member as well as a Brownie Leader and Swimming Teacher...

I have been working in Health Libraries for just over 5 years, having completed my CILIP Certification (ACLIP) a few years ago and I am just starting to work on my CILIP Chartership (MCLIP), which has already given me a chance to meet new people and visit other libraries across the West Midlands, not least in my role on the committee of the CILIP West Midlands Member Network. My previous library work has included voluntary work in my school library and in my local public library. I started this blog to take part in the 23 Things CPD, but have since blogged about other things too.
